A really good romance....

All of us here at Minx Central and the awesome people who visit us here, I can safely say, have one thing in common. We all love books and especially, we LOVE a good romance story..

I love and read romance in all the sub genres but nothing makes me sigh happily in bliss more than one that purely and completely focuses on well-developed 3 dimensional characters...

And the last one that made do the above along with making me laugh was Julie Anne Long's What I Did For A Duke.

At first sight at the blurb, the book has common tropes like Older Hero vs, Younger Heroine, Revenge etc.

But what lifts the book from any other book and makes it a delight to read is I think, the character and the dialogue, the descriptive language...There was a subtlety to everything that I can't even put in proper words...

What I can say vouch for is the pure joy I got out from reading it well into the night...

What about you? What was the last book you read that put a smile on your face, that made you go WOW?
